A quiet day...

...which we felt was well deserved.

After breakfast we walked into town as the temperature was pleasant and had a look around the central city area.

The city rises up from Place de la Comedie with many plazas (places in French) choke full of restaurants and cafes/bars. One that is quite representative of what we saw is as shown in the following photo

The folk sitting under the umbrellas (terraces of the restaurants) were being entertained by an ensemble playing some lively music - they were pleasant to listen to.

During our wandering we came across a shop branded as Classic All Blacks selling branded merchandise - not official All Black merchandise but associated with the Classic All Blacks a team which first played a game in 2007 and is made up of former NZ rugby players. The team for example played Toulon in a tribute game for Jerry Collins in 2015.

Of interest is that the only Kiwi in the current Montpellier top squad is Aaron Cruden who joined then recently - Justin Marshall has played for them.

We took the tram back to our accommodation stopping at the local supermarket to purchase something that we could make into a dinner, the first meal we have had since leaving home that will not be in a restaurant.

Late in the afternoon we cooled off in the complex's pool to end our day - I said it was a quiet day but we still managed to walk 8.3kms and swim numerous lengths of the pool.

Tomorrow we are driving to Uzes for the day.
